​IAM a self-taught mixed media artist who's intricate, collage-inspired portraits challenge conventional ideals of beauty. Working primarily on paper and canvas, I use sustainable materials—newspaper, fabric, pen, marker, and acrylic—to create bold, emotionally resonant works that celebrate Black identity, femininity, and cultural resilience.

​

My work dares viewers to look in the mirror and ask difficult questions: What is beauty? Who defines it?​ Each piece tells a story—some deeply personal, others cultural—but all are rooted in lived experience and a deep reverence for the strength and complexity of Black womanhood.

My portraits of African American women center Black beauty in all its forms: exaggerated facial features, richly layered skin tones, textured textiles, and expressive marks that invite close, contemplative viewing. These amplified features may make some viewers uncomfortable—but discomfort, I believe, is where truth often lives.
